2018 Buick Enclave Review, Release Date, Price and Photos

The all-new Buick Enclave crossover SUV introduced at a special event prior to the New York auto show is packed with thoughtful features that will make both mother and fathers go wild, however first-off we need to mention on how good-looking it is, inside and out. The previous edition Enclave was incredibly popular, and it had an unique attitude, but this new version is simply plain better-looking. With a lower, slimmer body, it has excellent presence that puts it in excellent company with its import competition, and the interior is sumptuous and thoughtfully detailed.

There is a reason Duncan Aldred, vice president, Global Buick and GMC, was favorably exultant as he provided the vehicle for the first time. Buick is on a nice roll globally, and the Enclave appears poised to keep that it going.

2018 Buick Enclave Interior

The 2018 Buick Enclave is filled with highlights. In spite of the sleek body there is more third-row interior area, assisted by a longer wheelbase. Towing ability has actually been upped to 5,000 pounds. And a first-ever for Buick rear-view camera-mirror enables exposure to the rear unblocked by the heads and headrests that generally dot the Enclave’s cabin. Lastly there is a new premium level– Buick Enclave Avenir– that we expect will do for Buick exactly what the Denali trim has actually provided for GMC, specifically offer it more status and flair.

2018 Buick Enclave Engine

Requirement is a brand-new 3.6-liter V6 engine delivering 302 horse power and 260 lb-ft of torque. It will use stop/start technology and be paired with a 9-speed automated transmission. For those who deal with severe weather, the new Enclave can be geared up with intelligent all-wheel-drive (AWD) with active twin-clutch rear differential and Buick-first switchable AWD. The MacPherson strut front and five-link rear suspensions are tuned for a peaceful, separated ride without sacrificing control.
